Experienced Nationwide Motorcycle Injury Attorney Helps Clients who Have Been Injured in Crashes

Motorcycle injuries vary from individual to individual and from accident to accident. However, lawyers and doctors who work with injured motorcyclists tend to observe common injuries that many accidents victims tend to suffer. Not all accidents cause lifelong injuries, but most create severe medical concerns and considerable pain – at least in the short term – which may have a significant impact on your quality of life.

It’s important to note, as well, that it’s not unusual when shock and an adrenaline rush after a crash to convince you to brush off any minor aches and pains. However, when you consider the long list of common injuries that occur as the result of motorcycle crashes, you can easily understand why no accident victim should avoid a medical examination. Further, over time, both you and your loved ones should stay alert to any behavioral changes and health-related concerns that may be delayed ramifications of the accident.

Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries

The experienced personal injury lawyers at Proner & Proner have an important piece of advice for anyone injured in a motorcycle accident. We want you to focus on your health. Serious injuries and lifelong complications arise from motorcycle crashes. It’s important that you take care of yourself, or a loved one injured in a crash, and allow a seasoned motorcycle injury lawyer to handle the financial issues associated with your accident.

It’s not unusual for accident victims to be approached by insurance claims adjusters who want to write a check and make you go away. And, the offer might be tempting. After all, medical bills and lost wages during recuperation can add up fast. However, it is important not to accept a low settlement offer from an insurance claims adjuster until you, your doctor and your attorney believe that is in your best interest.

Here are some common types of injuries that people suffer after crashes:

Back and Neck Injuries – Serious injuries lead to chronic pain and require lengthy recuperation

Head Injuries – Ranging from minor concussions to vegetative state.

Spinal Cord Injuries – Injuries vary in severity depending on the location of the injury on the spine

Amputation Injuries – Often requiring an accident victim to wear a prosthetic

Road Rash – A painful skin injury that may require skin grafts and a risk of infection

Fatal Injuries – Sometimes resulting in death on impact or, in other cases, causing death soon after an accident.

The severity of your injury may not be apparent at the time of the accident. Some injuries, such as herniated disks in the backbone, grow more painful over time. For this reason, it is very important to have thorough medical examinations on the day of the accident and in the following days and weeks as your doctor recommends and as symptoms warrant.

What not to do after a motorcycle accident

The wrong move can make it extremely difficult to get the compensation you deserve. Insurance companies are looking for opportunities to limit or deny you compensation. We encourage you not to give them any.

Do not make a statement to or sign anything given to you by an insurance agent. Do not even talk to an insurance agent. When you discuss the accident to the police, be very straightforward and limit your discussion to the facts.

Do not apologize to or argue with the other driver. Limit your discussion with the other driver to an exchange of information. Do not sign anything.

Do not get your bike repaired. Doing so before an attorney has had a chance to have the bike properly inspected and photographed is essentially erasing one of the most important pieces of evidence in your case.
